Ordered the calamari, Bloody Mary, huevos rancheros with a side salad. Salad was fine. Wouldn’t order any of the rest again. Service was basic. Location is prime.

I mean, it's a tourist trap, not much more to say. No beer selection, and it's expensive bad beer. Go to Brits or something, or just don't spend time here.

I went there with my family who lives in Hayward. We are from Las Vegas and not use to so many flies while eating. We enjoyed the food but the flies were overwhelming and overtaking the inside of the place. Too many flies. May I suggest a overhead air blower at the doors to keep the flies out. It really ruined our experience. My next visit will consist of me bringing my fly swatter or my fly zapper. I found myself swatting at the flies with my baseball hat. NOT GOOD!!!!

Sam was a great and personable server. Thank you Sam.

It’s on the beach…so the atmosphere is speaks for itself. Although the tables are very close together and a little uncomfortable to the next table. My waitress was great. The food was mediocre. There were a lot of artichokes on my plate I wasn’t sure if I could find the fish and the clam chowder was very bland. I just missed happy hour. I think it would be worth happy hour.

Great location. Good service. Mediocre food. Prices reflect the location more than other things, perhaps the happy hour would be a good value but we weren't there for that.

Absolutely fantastic place to have breakfast and lunch and probably dinner.

Definitely try the mahi-mahi sandwich I tried it and it was great. The chilaquiles were fantast. I'll update the review when I have more time.

Location is nice. I got the fish and chips and honestly it tasted very bland without the malt vinegar. I’ve had better from long John silver’s. Server seemed nice but never came by to ask how I was doing or if I needed any refills.

It was a one and done for me.

Delicious seafood, amazing and quick service, shady outdoor seating, and lots of indoor as well. The outdoor seating is right on the beach, with an incredible view of the water and painted buildings. Very fresh seafood, my seared bluefin was so delicious!!
